• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

$100.00 5X8 Trailer

Bought this trailer from a fellow up the street for $100.00, It was seatimg in his back yard for about four years. I put another $225.00 in it. I got the idea from some of the site members to use as a base. I rewired the whole thing and added clearance lights.I changed the flooring and did some welding to make it more sturdy. I repacked the bearings and added newer tires. I made some temporary ramps (looking at adding a full ramp later). I sanded,primed, and painted it Black. I was able to register it for $41.00 as a Home built trailer. The before and after pic,s say's it all, for $325.00, I think not bad?? It ties down and travels nicely. Thanks again for this site.

Awesome job.
Inspiring me to think in that direction.

How many days did you spend on it...??
 
mcguire1511:::::2thumbs:AWESOME IDEA...I have a 5X8 trailer which isn't long enough, I never thought of notching the front railing out like that. How are you for clearance on each side??
